Please join Marsha Casper Cook on August 1, 2018 4:30 EST 3:30 CST 2:30 MT 1:30 PST when Marsha welcomes Jack Remick, a poet, short story writer and novelist. It's going to be a great discussion as always. Jack brings such flavor to the craft of writing especially in his new novel Citadel. Citadel is a much needed, unforgiving and unapologetic evisceration of the idea of female inferiority we have so primitively accepted today and throughout history. Remick shows tremendous skill in the way he attacks such a heated and complicated subject. He never shies away from the atrocious acts of violence against women, but neither does he lose the magic of his whirlwind storytelling in favor of lecture. Citadel is an honest, sometimes savage look at the relationship between men and women, and what the world could be like if women were in control. Based in Chicago, Illinois, Marsha Casper Cook is an award-winning American author, scriptwriter, and writing coach who also provides audio books to her readers. She has been doing podcasts for over eight years and loves it.

Please join Marsha Casper Cook on Friday June 15 at 4EST 3 CST 2 MT 1 PST when she welcomes the authors of, A LOVING MiX, for a great discussion about the book and the important reason for writing it. It's going to be a great show. Listen live or on demand. In our world, outside forces find reasons to keep us apart. Wealth, religion, and race are dividing factors. All manmade barriers that have nothing to do with the heart of the people involved. Although wealth and religion can be hidden, race cannot. On June 12th, 1967, the Supreme Court struck down the laws that enforced racial segregation in marriage and Loving Day was created. To celebrate this step to remove this unjust barrier to love, eight Interracial Romance authors have come together to celebrate with stories that challenge the social norms on both sides of the coin. With contemporary, paranormal and historical settings discover how finding the other half of your soul is worth fighting for.
